Hello everyone,
In my previous write-up, I wrote on how much God loves us, still relating to how much Jesus was able to understand the depth of the love God His Father and our Father had for Him, similarly we are to study and meditate on the love God has for through His Son Jesus Christ.
I started last time by explaining how much the love of God is towards by sending His Son to die in our place. The most interesting thing about this whole scenario is that it isn’t just the death alone, but what happened afterwards. Jesus destroyed the spirit of sin completely, so the world is free from the spirit of sin, however, because our soul was born under the control of sin, the soul has absorbed the sinful nature as a way of life, whereas it is no longer in control anymore. This is where we need to accept the new way of life in Christ Jesus, a life where you align yourself with the way of life of God, with you having all authority in heaven and earth at your disposal, have a spirit of Jesus dwelling in you, thus having an excellent spirit full of the true and the finest of wisdom. The list goes on and on.
The interesting thing that happened after the death of Jesus was that God raised Jesus up and gave Him all authority in heaven and earth. Now, Jesus had been and is God, so does it make any sense to say God raised Himself? The reason why this happened was that Jesus is God and man in a body, so Jesus being raised is the human side, which represents man. Remember, Jesus represented us when He died, so as God raised Him, He was raising man also, this is why Jesus is referred to as the firstborn from the dead, and as many as are led by the spirit of God are the children of God. As you receive Christ, you become the Son or Daughter of God, and your elder brother is Jesus.
Where do all these lead? Everything that was given to Jesus we also have the exact same thing, this is called grace! Jesus worked for it and got what He deserved, but we couldn’t ever come close to getting a good stand before God’s sight. We were in God’s bad books till Jesus died for us, so in getting in God’s books is to follow the footsteps of the only man who entered God’s good books, once we do that, we gain access to the grace of God, but how what happens with grace in our lives, how do we unleash it properly, sort of like a step by step format? Log on same time tomorrow for this.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
Log on next time.
